Hugo Legacy

Hugo Legacy by Play'n GO abandons paylines entirely in favour of a 7x7 cluster pays grid where wins form from groups of 5 or more matching symbols horizontally and vertically. A charge meter fills on every winning cluster, and at 35 or more charges, character modifiers enter: Hugo, Scylla, Fernando, and Jean Paul each restructure the grid in a different way. Medium volatility, 96.2% RTP, and a 3,000x maximum win. Play on desktop and mobile with crypto at Wild.io.

What is Hugo Legacy?

Hugo Legacy is a 7x7 cluster pays video slot from Play'n GO with a 96.2% RTP, medium volatility, and a top win of 3,000x your bet. The standout mechanic is a dual-layer bonus system: winning clusters fill a charge meter, and when the meter reaches 35 charges the Telephone feature fires, delivering character modifiers that include wild placement, mass symbol destruction, type-swapping, and cluster construction.

Play'n GO released this in August 2023, the most mechanically evolved entry in the Hugo series. The 7x7 Cluster Pays format means wins scale with cluster size: a 5-cluster pays 0.1x to 2.5x, while a 20-plus cluster pays up to 1,000x the stake. The cascading avalanche system drops new symbols after each win, chain-firing the charge meter and modifier sequence.

How To Play Hugo Legacy Slot - Step By Step

Head to Wild.io and create a free account to start playing Hugo Legacy.

1. Set your bet. Hugo Legacy uses a 7x7 grid with cluster pays: win by forming groups of 5 or more matching symbols in any horizontal or vertical direction.
2. After each winning cluster, the matched symbols are removed and new symbols fall into place, potentially creating further clusters in a cascade.
3. Every winning cluster adds charges to the Telephone meter on the side of the grid.
4. Reaching 35 charges activates the Telephone feature, awarding 2 character modifiers. Higher thresholds at 40, 45, and 50 charges award 3, 4, and 5 modifiers respectively, with bonus wilds at 45 and 50.
5. Each character modifier reshapes the grid differently before the next spin: Hugo adds wilds, Scylla destroys specific symbols, Fernando converts a symbol type to wild, and Jean Paul builds a winning cluster directly.

Hugo Legacy Slot Theme & Graphics

Hugo Legacy places the familiar troll cast in a vintage telephone exchange setting, with the Telephone meter acting as the literal game progression prop. The 7x7 grid is filled with mining props (keys, dynamite, carts, gold bars, hats) in the low tier and the core cast in the high tier. The visual style is warmer and more character-portrait-forward than the earlier underground entries, with Jean Paul, Fernando, and Don Croco joining Hugo and Scylla as the high-pay symbols.

The cascade animation shows matched symbols dissolving upward as new ones fall from above, which gives the grid a kinetic energy absent from standard reel slots. The charge meter fills visually with each cascade, providing clear progress feedback. Play'n GO's mobile build handles the 7x7 grid cleanly, though the smaller symbol size on phone screens is a trade-off for the larger play area.

Hugo Legacy Slot Symbols & Paytables

Forty-nine grid positions carry five low mine-prop symbols, five high character symbols, and a diamond Wild. No scatter exists; the charge meter drives bonus progression.

Low Value Symbols

The five low symbols are mine props: a key, a bundle of dynamite, a mining cart, gold bars, and a hat. A 5-cluster pays 0.1x to 0.5x the stake; the same 20-cluster pays up to 1,000x. The scaling is steep: cluster size is the primary multiplier, so even low symbols become significant in large formations. In a cascading grid, consecutive wins from low symbols accumulating into a 20-plus cluster is a legitimate win path rather than an incidental occurrence.

High Value Symbols

Five character symbols make up the high-pay group: Jean Paul, Fernando, Don Croco, Scylla, and Hugo. A 5-cluster pays 2.5x the stake; scaling follows the same steep curve up to 20-plus positions paying multiples of the base rate. Hugo and Scylla from the series core are here alongside three new faces. The character symbols are also the subjects of the modifier abilities: Scylla in her Wild modifier role destroys competing symbols, Fernando turns a whole symbol type wild, and Jean Paul constructs winning clusters directly.

Special Symbols

A sparkly diamond is the Wild, substituting for any regular symbol in a cluster. It has no Scatter function. The bonus system is driven entirely by the Telephone charge meter: winning clusters add charges regardless of symbol type. At 35 charges: Telephone fires 2 character modifiers. 40 charges: 3 modifiers. 45 charges: 4 modifiers and 5 wilds pre-placed. 50 charges: 5 modifiers and 30 wilds pre-placed. The four modifier characters are Hugo (adds 5-8 wilds), Scylla (protects 1-2 symbol types and destroys all others), Fernando (turns one symbol type fully wild), and Jean Paul (selects a symbol and constructs a winning cluster from it).

Hugo Legacy Bonus Feature & Special Features

Cascade / Avalanche

Each time a winning cluster forms, the matched symbols are removed from the 7x7 grid and new symbols fall from above to fill the gaps. The resulting configuration can create new clusters, which remove and refill again, continuing until no new cluster forms. This cascading mechanic means a single spin can chain multiple wins from one triggering combination. Each cascade that produces a win adds charges to the Telephone meter, so long chains accelerate progress toward the character modifier threshold significantly faster than individual non-chaining spins.

Telephone Charge Meter and Character Modifiers

The Telephone meter on the side of the grid collects charges from every winning cluster. At 35 charges the Telephone feature fires, awarding 2 character modifiers randomly from the four available characters. At 40 charges the award is 3 modifiers; at 45 charges, 4 modifiers and 5 pre-placed wilds; at 50 charges, 5 modifiers and 30 wilds. Each modifier applies before the next spin. Hugo adds 5-8 wilds to the grid. Scylla protects 1 or 2 symbol types (including wilds) and destroys every other symbol present. Fernando selects one symbol type and converts all instances of it into wilds. Jean Paul picks a symbol and builds a winning cluster from it directly. The 50-charge state with 30 pre-placed wilds and 5 simultaneous modifier activations is the mechanism behind the 3,000x maximum win.

Free Spins via Telephone

When the Telephone meter reaches at least 35 charges, the default free spin activates alongside the character modifiers. This is not a traditional scatter-triggered free spins mode: it fires from the charge meter accumulating enough value through winning cascades. The free spin count and modifier strength scale with charge level, with the default 35-charge tier awarding fewer modifiers than the enhanced 45 and 50-charge tiers that include pre-placed wilds. The gamble/double feature available in the game can optionally risk the charge-meter reward for a higher tier, though this introduces variance into the modifier count.
